Client Profile
A leading global professional services provider, operating across multiple industries and geographies, the organisation is dedicated to solving complex business challenges and fostering trust within society.
To support its extensive and dynamic IT landscape, it relies heavily on Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) for managing and scaling its global operations.
Business Challenge
Given the complexity and scale of the client’s cloud operations, they encountered several critical challenges in managing their Oracle Cloud Infrastructure environments:
- Dynamic Environments: The highly dynamic nature of the cloud infrastructure required a robust observability framework to manage frequent changes in resource allocation and configuration.
- Proactive Monitoring: Real-time monitoring of cloud resources was necessary to promptly respond to emerging issues.
- Centralised Log Management: The client needed a centralised repository for log data to quickly diagnose and address issues.
- Root Cause Analysis: Advanced analytics tools were essential for identifying patterns and root causes within vast amounts of log data.
Application Monitoring: Deep visibility into end-user experiences and distributed application components was a priority. - Oracle Database Management: Seamless monitoring and administration of Oracle Databases were required to ensure consistent performance.
- Capacity Analysis: The client needed to analyse capacity, forecast usage, and address performance issues for optimal resource utilisation.
Solutions Provided by eAppSys
